Easy to farm

Chapter 55 The problem is solved
Spring plowing had reached its busiest time, and even Pei Zhenglian rolled up his trousers and was busy in the paddy field.

Nowadays, farming is not as advanced as modern science and technology. It basically relies on manual labor. Plowing is mainly driven by buffaloes, and people are behind the buffaloes, supporting the plow. After a day, people are too tired to do it. It's all about Pei Xing's family, the three brothers Pei Xingliang and Pei Yongping came in rotation.

When everyone started plowing the fields, the buffaloes became more important. Not many families in Nanhe Village raised cattle, and most of them had to plow the fields for themselves. At this time, the cattle of Li Deqing's family were sent to Great use.

Li Deqing's family does not grow rice. The cattle raised by his family are not only used in carts to buy goods in the town, but at other times, anyone in the village wants to use a cart, so they go to his house to borrow it. When it comes to spring plowing, Li Deqing's cattle are basically in a long-term condition. In the state of leasing, whoever borrows a cow not only has to take care of the forage the cow will eat for a day, but also has to pay Li Deqing afterwards, which is about 150 Wen for a day of borrowing a cow.

Pei Zhenglian's family has a good relationship with Li's family, so every year, Pei Zhenglian's family rents cattle from Li Deqing's family for more than 20 mu of land to plow the fields. It takes about seven or eight days.

The paddy field of Pei Xiangxiang's family was next to Pei Zhenglian's land, so it was convenient to plow the field. After plowing Pei Zhenglian's family, he started plowing Pei Yongping's. Everything went smoothly, but on the last day, Pei Xiangxiang's family's land was still left. When it was more than half an acre of land, Mrs. Wang suddenly came to say that the cattle were not available and needed urgently.

When Pei Yongping heard that the Wang family stopped borrowing cattle, he became anxious. His family didn't have much land, and he relied on these two acres of paddy fields for food. To put it bluntly, the Wang family just agreed not to borrow it, and this cow needs to be urgently needed.

There was no other way, so Pei Yongping had no choice but to ask Mrs. Wang to take the cattle away, and hurried to find other people to see if they could rent cattle. Those who rarely have cattle say that it will be their turn to wait until the people who have previously reserved are used up.

After Pei Zhenglian found out about this, he asked Pei Yongping directly if he had offended the Li family in some way. Otherwise, why would the Li family take the cow away in a hurry, and the so-called urgent matter was to tie the cow to graze by the river, which was obviously for Pei Yongping. The Yongping family was embarrassed, but Pei Yongping did not think about any conflicts between him and the Li family.

After returning from the field, Pei Yongping sighed for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking Yang Shi again what Pei Zhenglian told him, but Yang Shi was stunned when he heard it, and then said, "I'm afraid." It's about brother Xu's business."

Pei Yongping couldn't understand what he heard, and he never paid attention to some rumors in the village. He thought they were all gossip women looking for something to do. Naturally, he didn't know the reason. They’re gone, so why don’t you lend us the cattle?”

Now Pei Yongping regards Lin Xu as his own family and thinks it's because Lin Xu is implicated in his family. Seeing that Pei Yongping didn't understand, Mrs. Yang obviously didn't know that Mrs. Wang liked Lin Xu, so she thought she shouldn't keep it a secret, and said, " It's Brother Xu who offended their family, it's Li Sansister who likes Lin Xu from the bottom of her heart, and wants to be in-laws with Mrs. Han."

"Huh? When did this happen?"

"I didn't hear Mrs. Li San talking about this before, but after the matter between Xiangxiang and Brother Xu was settled, she mentioned it to others in private, and said that our family's conditions are not good, and Brother Xu is a student. , our family is not able to spend money for Brother Xu like theirs."

Although Yang's words were not the original words of Wang's, but the meaning was similar, and he felt that Pei Xiangxiang was superior to Lin Xu.

Pei Yongping was shocked when he heard this for the first time. Seeing that Yang's face was not very good, he knew that she was also annoyed by Wang's words, so he asked while comforting him, "Does Brother Xu know? Heard about it?"

Mentioning Lin Xu and Han, Yang's expression softened a lot, and said, "I don't know all of them, but Sister Han came here to comfort me, saying that she just knew about it, but don't worry about it." She said that she was interested in our Xiangxiang family, not other people's money, and also said that her family's conditions were not good, and we didn't dislike his family, she was already very satisfied."

Han's words are very true. Nowadays, when marrying a daughter, it is always the case that the man is chosen first. Like Lin Xu's family, there is no father to take care of it, and the brothers below support it all. They are all orphans and widows. How is also an unknown, but Pei Xiangxiang's family does not dislike it, which really makes her feel at ease.

Because of this incident, the Wang family and Pei Xiangxiang's family had formed a relationship. When Pei Xiangxiang found out about it later, he was not surprised. Recalling that time when he went to town with Lin Xu, the Wang family was very enthusiastic about Lin Xu. , I think it has already appeared at that time.

However, there is no unparalleled road, and when Pei Yongping was busy borrowing cattle, Pei Xiangxiang accidentally ran into Liu Shan from Beihe Village.

Liu Shan led the cattle on the ridge of the field, while Pei Xiangxiang squatted by the canal digging wild celery. This time, it was not for making money, but purely because he wanted to eat wild vegetables and add another vegetable to the family.

Although Liu Shan and Pei Xiangxiang only met once, he still had a deep impression of Pei Xiangxiang, so when he saw Pei Xiangxiang, he took the initiative to say hello, "Miss Pei, what are you up to?"

Hearing someone talking, Pei Xiangxiang looked up and saw Liu Shan, and also recognized that he was the one who sent him home last time, and said, "Uncle Liu, I'm digging wild celery. Is uncle here to plow the field?"

Many cows in Nanhe Village now belong to the neighboring village. Seeing Liu Shan leading the cow, Pei Xiangxiang guessed that he came here for this purpose. Pei Xiangxiang guessed right, Liu Shan was indeed renting the cows to Nanhe Village. , He nodded when he saw Pei Xiangxiang's question.

Seeing this, Pei Xiangxiang thought that there were more than half an acre of paddy fields in his family's land, and there was no cattle to plow the land. Pei Xiangxiang asked casually, "When will Uncle Liu's cattle be free? I still have a piece of land to put there, and I haven't been able to find it yet." The ox plows."

"This...I'm afraid it won't work in the next ten days, and I won't be free during the day." Liu Shan looked distressed. Although he wanted to help, others had already agreed in advance, so he couldn't break his promise.

However, Pei Xiangxiang was not discouraged at all when he heard what he said. Instead, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Does Uncle Liu mean that Niu will be free at night?"

Liu Shan nodded, but explained very sincerely, "The cattle are free at night, but it's dark, and you can't see anything in the field, so you can't work."

When Pei Xiangxiang heard Liu Shan's meaning, he knew that the matter could be accomplished, so he said, "We don't have much land, so please help me with Uncle Liu, just borrow two nights, we promise not to let the cattle get tired, and the wages will be calculated as usual. Uncle promised me, I will go back and help your village school find a gentleman."

When Liu Shan heard this, his face brightened, and he said, "Miss Pei must count on what she says."

Pei Xiangxiang nodded, "Of course it counts."

After agreeing with Liu Shan, that night, Liu Shan rode a cow to Pei Xiangxiang's house. Seeing the cow, Pei Yongping and Yang Shi were stunned. Only then did Shi know that Pei Xiangxiang had borrowed the cow, but the two of them were very happy but helpless. Their first reaction was the same as Liu Shan's, that they couldn't work even if they had cows at night.

However, this is not difficult for Pei Xiangxiang. Pei Xiangxiang asked Pei Yongping to bring the tools for plowing the field, then led the ox, and asked Mrs. Yang to follow into the field, piled weeds around the ridge, and then lit a bonfire. Of course, in order to prevent The cow was scared when he saw the fire, so Pei Xiangxiang deliberately lit the fire a little farther away. Under the light of the fire, it really did not affect the plowing. This made Pei Yongping feel relieved, thinking that his daughter is really not ordinary smart.
